MEET THE Prosody London PERFUMER — KERSHEN TEO
Kershen Teo is the founder and perfumer behind Prosody London, an organic and botanical fragrance house based in London. Born in Singapore, Kershen’s lifelong love of fragrance took an unexpected turn when he discovered he was severely allergic to synthetic ingredients — leaving him unable to wear the conventional perfumes he so deeply admired. Rather than abandon his passion, he embarked on a personal journey to create something better: a collection of 100% natural perfumes that he could wear himself, and share with the world.
Every Prosody London fragrance is composed entirely from botanical ingredients, sourced to IFRA and Soil Association standards. What began as a necessity born of personal sensitivity has grown into a pioneering fragrance house — one that proves natural perfumery need not compromise on depth, sophistication, or longevity.Our Principles
Prosody London believes sustainability should be central to all cultivation. We aim to create clean, unadulterated products for personal use. Our goal is to maintain this principle while using creativity to craft fascinating, varied, and well-structured fragrances. These fragrances meet modern expectations while avoiding synthetics and additives that undermine nature’s true potential. We design clean, safe, and pure fragrances that can be made for centuries without harming the environment or users’ wellbeing.

Organic at Prosody london
Prosody London incorporates over 90% organic ingredients into all our products. We derive the ethanol in our perfumes from organic grain, certified by relevant authorities, just like all our organic ingredients. We believe plant matter grown without pesticides and chemicals is best for our health. Our skin, a less understood organ, absorbs what we apply to it. By minimizing toxins applied to our bodies, we enhance our well-being and contribute positively to wildlife and the environment


Saving water
At Prosody London, we design our production methods to conserve water resources. We minimize water usage throughout our processes, opting instead to blend oils with alcohol for dilution. By eliminating water from our products, we mitigate the risk of bacterial growth, as water (aqua) is prone to breeding bacteria. This approach also negates the need for synthetic preservatives, as alcohol naturally acts as a preservative.
Furthermore, we take pride in formulating perfumes that exhibit exceptional longevity without relying on synthetic musks. Unlike synthetic musks that harm clean water, we craft fragrances with sustainability in mind. By using natural ingredients and avoiding harmful synthetics, we help preserve clean water and support ecosystem health.


British maker
We develop our exquisite fragrances in the heart of London, a city known for its rich history and vibrant creativity. We create our perfumes in the tranquil English countryside, on the edge of the North Wessex Downs. Our facilities sit amidst lush landscapes and rolling hills. This serene setting allows us to craft each scent with care and precision.
We blend the urban energy of London with the calm of the countryside. This fusion gives our perfumes a unique character, combining London’s sophistication with rural England’s timeless charm.


Supporting Communities
As all-natural perfumers, we pride ourselves on sourcing materials from around the world. Many come from developing nations. At Prosody London, we prioritize ethical sourcing practices, ensuring that our partnerships benefit local communities. Through our commitment to Fair Trade initiatives, we strive to empower artisans and farmers, promoting sustainable livelihoods and fair wages
We actively support causes that promote clean water access and education, especially for girls, in these regions. We partner with reputable charities to address critical issues. Our goal is to improve living conditions and create educational opportunities for young girls in underserved communities.


Vegan Perfume
We craft Prosody London perfumes solely from botanical sources, strictly rejecting traditional ingredients like deer musk, civet, and castoreum, along with their synthetic counterparts. Our goal is to emulate the captivating allure and depth of classic fragrances while maintaining a commitment to cleanliness, safety, environmental responsibility, and cruelty-free practices.
By avoiding animal-derived and synthetic components, our perfumes offer a cleaner and safer alternative that not only benefits the environment but also aligns with our ethical values. Thistrue vegan approach isn’t merely a belief system; it represents a sound business and artistic choice that will hopefully resonate with discerning consumers seeking high-quality, conscientious products.

Cruelty free
We use natural materials that are well-known to science and dilute them according to IFRA standards, eliminating the need for animal testing. We also avoid exporting to countries where animal testing is mandatory for perfume and beauty

Forest friendly
We exclusively source ingredients from sustainably farmed sources to mitigate our impact on deforestation. By prioritizing sustainable farming practices, we actively work to minimize environmental harm and support responsible land management. This commitment ensures that our sourcing methods align with principles of ecological stewardship, promoting biodiversity and conserving natural habitats. At Prosody London, our dedication to sustainability extends throughout our supply chain, reflecting our commitment to preserving the Earth’s resources for future generations.


Reducing waste
At Prosody London, we actively reduce our reliance on plastics in both our products and packaging. To further this commitment, we have implemented a recycling incentive program to encourage responsible disposal of our 50ml bottles and their packaging. Customers who return an empty 50ml Prosody London bottle, along with its packaging, are eligible for a discount on their next purchase as a token of our appreciation for their environmental stewardship.
Through this initiative, we aim to promote sustainability by minimizing waste and encouraging circular consumption practices. By incentivizing recycling, we empower our customers to actively participate in reducing environmental impact and fostering a more eco-conscious community. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in preserving our planet for future generations.
NO ENDOCRINE DISRUPTOR INGREDIENTS
At Prosody London, your health is at the heart of everything we create. Many mainstream perfumes contain endocrine-disrupting ingredients — such as synthetic musks, phthalates, parabens, and benzophenones — that can interfere with your body’s hormonal system, affecting everything from reproductive health and metabolism to mood and immunity. These chemicals are so pervasive in conventional fragrance that most people are exposed to them daily without even realising it. At Prosody London, we made a conscious decision from day one to exclude every single one of them. Our fragrances are crafted exclusively from 100% botanical ingredients, so you can wear our scents with complete peace of mind, knowing that what touches your skin supports — rather than disrupts — your natural balance.

BESPOKE FRAGRANCE SERVICES
At Prosody London, we believe that the most personal fragrance is one created entirely for you. Our bespoke service invites you to work directly with perfumer Kershen Teo to craft a truly one-of-a-kind scent — a fragrance that tells your story, reflects your personality, and exists nowhere else in the world.
Whether you are looking to create a signature personal fragrance, a unique gift for someone special, or a bespoke scent for your brand or event, Kershen brings his expertise in 100% botanical perfumery to every commission. Using only the finest natural essential oils and organic ingredients, each bespoke creation is a deeply personal and collaborative journey from first consultation to final bottle.
Every bespoke fragrance is crafted to IFRA and Soil Association standards, free from synthetics, phthalates, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals — a luxury that is as kind to your body as it is to your senses.
